CAUTION. 

Above  I  present  a  small  portrait  of  myself,  which  appears  on  every 
package  of  my  medicine.  The  wonderful  and  unparalleled  success  that 
I  have  obtained,  has  caused  a  hungry  horde  of  imitators  to  spring  up, 
putting  up  their  preparations  in  packages  that  look  as  near  like  mine 
as  they  dare  to.  They  claim  it  is  the  "  same  thing  as  Daniels' "  ;  "  about 
the  same  as  Daniels',"  etc.  Beware  of  all  such,  however  smooth  their 
tongues  or  loud  their  voices  ;  they  one  and  all  try  to  build  themselves 
up  by  my  reputation,  and  to  obtain  your  money  by  false  pretence. 
No  goods  are  the  "same  as  Daniels',"  and  none  are  genuine  without 
the  portrait. 

Herewith  I  show  a  cut  of  my 
office  and  laboratory  building, 
No.  55  Portland  Street,  where  I 
shall  at  all  times  be  pleased  to 
meet  all  horsemen,  whether  my 
patrons  or  not. 


VETERINARY   MEDICINES. 


INTRODUCTION. 

I  issue  this  little  work  in  response  to  an  almost  universal  demand 
from  my  patrons,  all  over  the  country,  for  more  explicit  instructions 
than  it  is  possible  to  give  on  my  labels,  for  using  my  veterinary 
MEDICINES,  in  the  great  variety  of  diseases  for  which  they  are  used. 
I  do  not  present  it  as  a  general  treatise  on  veterinary  practice,  or  a 
work  that  will  make  any  one  perfect  in  treating  even  one  disease  ;  but 
to  assist  my  friends  and  patrons  in  a  measure  to  ascertain  and  diagnose 
the  diseases  to  which  my  medicines  are  applicable,  the  most  reason- 
able and  sensible  method  of  nursing  the  same,  and  the  proper  amount 
of  medicine  required.  I  have  avoided  all  long  words  and  technicalities 
as  far  as  possible,  intending  it  for  the  use  of  non-professional  readers, 
of  which  the  great  majority  are  far  removed  from  the  vicinity  of  a  good 
veterinary,  and  are  largely  dependent  on  their  own  judgment  in  deter- 
minating the  disease,  and  upon  the  few  more  common  drugs  for  treating 
the  same. 

My  medicines  are  the  result  of  long  and  careful  research  and  experi- 
ment in  a  line  not  investigated  by  the  ordinary  veterinarian.  The 
ingredients  used  in  their  preparation  are  of  the  highest  grade  that 
money  will  buy,  or  it  is  possible  to  obtain,  being  mostly  imported  by 
myself.  They  are  not  hitherto  unknown,  but  the  uses  to  which  I  put 
them  are  new,  and  a  great  departure  from  the  practice  laid  down  in 
medical  works.  To  the  purity  and  freshness  of  the  drugs,  the  unvary- 
ing uniformity  of  my  preparations,  and  coiiunon-seiise  nursing,  I 
attribute  to  a  great  degree,  my  wonderful  success.  To  those  to  whom 
these  medicines  are  yet  unknown,  I  wish  to  say  a  word :  These 
medicines  are  w^hat  you  have  long  needed  ;  they  are  always  reliable, 
are  perfectly  safe,  will  do  all  I  claim  for  them ;  their  use  will  save  you 
money ;  and  while  I  live  they  will  never  be  adulterated  or  their  manu- 
facture cheapened. 

PREJUDICE. 

Many  are  opposed  to  using  veterinary  medicines  on  themselves,  or 
family,  wrongly  thinking  that  such  medicines  are  crude,  much  stronger, 
and  unclean.  I  beg  to  assure  all  such  that  all  preparations  bearing  my 
name  are  compounded  from  the  very  purest  and  most  costly  drugs,  are 
perfectly  clean  and  safe  to  use.  The  only  difference  between  "  Horse  " 
medicine  and  that  for  the  human  family  is  the  size  of  dose,  the  horse 
usually  requiring  from  eight  to  eleven  times  as  large  a  dose  as  a  man.

VETERINARY   MEDICINES. 


DR.  DANIELS' 


Every  horse  owner  dreads  that  most  dangerous  disease,  COLIC, 
and,  although  having  at  hand  the  best  remedy  he  knows,  still  wishes  for 
a  certain  cure.  I  now  offer  a  remedy  AT  0NCE  CERTAIN  TO  CURE 
AND  HARMLESS  IN  ITS  EFFECTS,  as  well  as  being  cheaper  and  more 
convenient  to  administer. 


MY    WARRANT. 

Five  to  ten  cents'  worth  will  in  from  ten  to  fifty  minutes  cure  any 
case  of  Colic,  either  Spasmodic  or  Flatulent,  or  I  will  refund  your 
money. 

Put  up,  two  bottles  in  a  case  ;  Nos.  i  and  2,  with  glass  syringe  which 
takes  up  just  a  dose  {-j^o  drops),  which  is  instantly  placed  on  the  tongue. 

It  is  worth  100  dollars  a  package,  as  it  never  fails,  and  one  pack- 
age will  cure  eight  to  twelve  cases,  and  is  so  simple  that  a  child  can 
give  it  to  a  horse. 

Is  perfectly  safe,  as  it  never  makes  the  horse  sick,  and  will 

NEVER   FAIL. 

Colic  is  regarded  by  veterinarians,  as  by  far  the  most  dangerous  of  the 
non-contagious  diseases,  that  the  horse  is  heir  to ;  and,  in  fact,  the 
mortality  from  this  cause  alone  is  probably  greater  than  from  all  other 
non-contagious  diseases  combined.  It  is  known  among  stockmen  and 
veterinarians  in  different  parts  of  the  world  by  many  and  various  names, 
such  as  bellyache,  inflammation,  wind,  bots,  bloat,  stoppage  of  water, 
spasms,  etc.  The  educated  veterinarian  recognizes  but  two  kinds  —  the 
spasmodic  and  flatulent.  Statistics  of  live-stock  insurance  companies 
show  that  where  one  horse  is  burned  to  death  by  fire,  twenty-seven  die 
from  colic.  How  inconsistent  and  unbusiness-like  it  is  to  insure  your 
stock  against  fire,  at  great  expense,  and  not  be  prepared  to  ward  off  and 
cure  this  monster,  which  is  twenty-seven  times  more  fatal,  to  say  noth- 
ing of  the  slight  attacks  which  are  of  e very-day  occurrence,  when  it 
can  be  done  at  such  a  trifling  cost. 

There  has  been  handed  down  to  us  from  the  most  remote  antiquity 
many  infallible  recipes  for  curing  colic,  a  large  portion  of  them  so 
foolish  and  ridiculous  as  would  seem  to  be  unworthy  of  notice 
from  any  one  of  common  sense.  In  most  cases  of  colic,  it  is  soon 
noised  about  that  the  horse  is  sick.  Friends,  neighbors,  stablemen,  and 
loafers  gather  around.  Each  gives  his  opinion  of  the  case,  and  advises 
using  the  remedy  his  father  or  even  great-grandfather  always  used,  and 


DR.   A.   C.   DANIELS'  WARRANTED 


which  never  failed  to  cure.  In  the  meantime  the  horse  is  rapidly  grow- 
ing worse,  his  owner  in  desperation  tries  heroic  measures,  giving  large 
doses  of  the  most  powerful  poisons,  interspersed  with  pints,  and  quarts, 
of  more  harmless  decoctioi|5»'  He  knows  not  what  disease  he  is  trying 
to  cure,  or  any  reason  why  any  of  the  remedies  used  should  cure,  only 
that  somebody  says  that  somebody  else  always  used  it  with  wonderful 
results ;  and  feeling  liis  o\va  ignorance  and  weakness,  and  that  some- 
thing must  be  done,  and  at  once,  he  tries  it,  only  to  be  disappointed. 
So  he  goes  on,  jumping  from  one  thing  to  another  with  the  most 
foolish  haste,  giving  no  remedy  time  to  act.  The  consequence  of 
such  treatment  is,  that  the  horse  dies,  many  times,  being  killed 
by  the  medicine  and  treatment,  so  recklessly  administered ;  or  if  he 
recovers,  he  is  sick  for  days,  weeks,  months,  and  many  times  never 
fully  recovers  his  former  health  and  spirits.  I  regret  to  say  that  the 
treatment  of  colic,  even  by  the  leading  veterinarians,  is  simply 
palliative.  They  try  to  ease  the  pain  by  stupefying  the  horse,  and  depend 
almost  wholly  upon  nature  for  the  cure.  I  have  long  believed  that  the 
treatment  for  colic,  as  practiced  in  the  leading  schools,  both  in  this  coun- 
try and  Europe,  was  unscientific,  cruel,  and  a  relic  of  barbarism.  I  sought 
long  and  earnestly  for  something  that  would  relieve  and  cure  the 
spasms  in  spasmodic,  and  dissolve  and  liberate  the  gas  which  forms  in 
flatulent  forms  of  this  trouble.  I  met  with  no  encouragement  from  my 
professional  friends.  In  answer  to  my  arguments  and  questions,  they 
seemed  unable  to  give  me  any  light  or  encouragement,  but  looked  wise 
and  shook  their  heads  ;  and  if  any  answered,  it  was  always  to  discourage 
me.  Still,  I  felt  that  I  was  on  the  right  road ;  and  at  last,  almost  by 
inspiration,  as  it  seems  now,  the  happy  thought  came,  and  I  tried  a  new 
combination  of  drugs,  with  what  result  the  world  knows  to-day.  My 
success  in  introducing  this  medicine  has  been  most  astonishing.  It 
has  proved  a  Godsend,  not  onl5'  among  large  owners  of  horses,  but  to 
people  who  own  but  one  horse  or  mule,  and  especially  to  those  living 
away  from  villages  and  cities.  You  who  have  been  using  a  good  colic 
remedy  will  find  this  so  much  surer,  cheaper,  and  handier  to  use,  that 
you  will  never  again  be  without  it. 

COLIC   IS  CAUSED 

By  a  great  variety  of  conditions.  The  most  common  are  indigestion, 
change  of  feed,  or  water,  drinking  cold  water  on  an  empty  stomach, 
when  tired  and  exhausted,  constipation,  feeding  new  hay,  oats  or  corn, 
any  grain  that  has  soured,  ulcers,  worms,  etc.  Many  cases  are  brought 
on  by  ihe  horse  taking  a  sudden  chill  by  standing  in  a  draught  when 
heated  ;  also  by  over-feeding,  which  causes  an  unusual  amount  of  gas  to 
accumulate  ;  neglect  of  the  usual  evacuations,  such  as  going  a  long  time 
without  urinating.  All  of  the  above,  as  well  as  many  other  causes  or  a 
combination  of  them,  will  bring  on  colic. 


VETERINARY  MEDICINES. 


SYMPTOMS. 

Colic   is    many   times    mistaken   for    inflammation   of    the    bowels. 

To  make  plain  the  various  symptoms  of  each,  I  insert  the  following 

tables,  giving  entirely  different  symptoms  of  each  trouble.     Examine 

your  horse  carefully,  and  note  all  the  following  points  before  giving  any 

medicine  :  — 

COLIC. 

SPASMODIC    AND    FLATULENT. 

1.  Distended  Bowels^  relieved  by  pressure. 

2.  Pulse  natural. 

3.  Lies  down  and  rolls,  and  is  easier  for  a  short  time. 

4.  Legs  and  ears  generally  warm. 

5.  Comes  on  suddenly,  is  never  preceded  and  seldom  accompanied 

by  fever. 

6.  Looks  around   at  his  flanks,  and   paws  and  kicks,  and  will   not 

drink. 

INFLAMMATION    OF  THE    BOWELS. 

PERITONITIS    OR    ENTERITIS. 

1.  Bowels  sore  to  pressure. 

2.  Pulse  quick. 

3.  Pain  constant;  lies  down,  but  does  not  roll. 

4.  Legs  and  ears  generally  cold. 

5.  Comes  on  slowly,  generally  preceded  and  always  accompanied  by 

fever. 

6.  Looks  anxious  and  distressed,  mouth  hot,  and  is  thirsty. 

You  ought  now  to  feel  certain  that  you  are  right,  and  proceed  with 
all  coolness  and  confidence  to  treat  your  horse  for  colic. 

TREATMENT. 

My  treatment  will  seem  so  easy  and  simple,  as  compared  with  former 
practice,  as  to  raise  some  doubts  of  its  results,  in  the  minds  of  people 
who  have  had  sad  experience  wdth  powerful  medicines  ;  but  follow  my 
directions  faithfully,  and  the  result  will  please  you.  Get  the  horse  into 
a  nice  spot  of  soft  turf  or  into  a  deeply  bedded  box  stall,  so  that  if  he 
throws  himself  down  violently  he  will  not  bruise  his  flesh,  or  rupture 
himself.  Give  as  soon  as  possible  a  dose  out  of  the  No.  i  bottle,  30  drops 
(the  syringe  full),  as  far  back  on  the  tongue  as  possible.  In  ten  min- 
utes give  the  same  sized  dose  out  of  No.  2  bottle,  and  then  continue 
giving  these  doses  as  above,  first  one  and  then  the  other,  about  ten 
minutes  apart.  If  the  horse  is  very  sick,  before  you  can  obtain  my 
Colic  Cure,  you  may  give  two  doses  of  each  (60  drops)  instead  of  one 
to  start  with,  then  proceed  as  above,  or  giving  once  in  five  to  ten 
minutes  apart.  Usually  four  to  eight  doses  will  cure  a  bad  case,  and 
two  to  four  a  mild  case.  Keep  everything  as  quiet  as  possible.  If  the 
horse  finds  any  position  in  which  he  seems  easier,  let  him  keep  it.     If 


DR.  A.  C.   DANIELS'  WARRANTED 


convenient  give  him  an  injection  of  blood-v^rarm  soapsuds,  or  intro- 
ducing the  hand,  well  greased,  into  his  rec'um  and  remove  all  excrement 
possible.  Many  times  he  will  be  found  so  constipated  that  the  gas 
cannot  work  off  naturally.  Keep  cool.  Don't  get  nervous  or  give  other 
medicines.  This  remedy  will  do  the  work,  and  never  fails  if  given  in 
any  reasonable  season.  It  has  cured  thousands  of  cases  after  they  had 
been  given  up  as  lost  by  good  veterinarians.  "  While  there's  life  there's 
hope,"  even  if  the  eyes  are  filmed,  his  upper  lip  turns  up,  his  pulse 
cannot  be  felt,  and  you  can  prick  him  with  a  pin  without  his  moving. 
Don't  despair.  He  may  recover  even  when  as  near  dead  as  that.  When 
the  horse  is  cured  of  colic,  give  a  few  doses  of  my  Fever  Drops,  two 
hours  ap.irt,  to  guard  against  inflammation  of  the  bowels  which  is  almost 
sure  to  follow  a  long-continued  case  of  colic. 

PARALYSIS  OF  HIND  QUARTERS. 

This  trouble  has  become  very  common  among  fine  horses,  and  is 
greatly  dreaded  by  horsemen.  It  usually  attacks  horses  that  are  in 
fine  condition,  that  have  not  had  their  customary  amount  of  exercise 
for  a  few  days.  The  horse  comes  from  the  stable  in  fine  spirits,  but  in 
an  hour  or  two  grows  stiff  in  one  or  both  hind  legs  ;  soon  falls  flat,  and 
is  unable  to  rise,  or  sits  upon  his  haunches  like  a  dog,  and  is  perfectly 
helpless.  The  No.  i  Colic  Cure  has  been  used  in  many  cases  with 
good  success ;  and  if  you  have  no  good  veterinarian,  proceed  as 
follows :  — 

TREATMENT. 

Give  thirty  drops  No.  i  every  fifteen  minutes  for  two  or  three  hours ; 
later  once  in  thirty  minutes.  After  he  shows  signs  of  improvement, 
gradually  reduce  the  dose.  Wring  woollen  blankets  out  of  as  hot 
water  as  c.n  be  borne,  and  folding  them,  cover  the  back  and  hips, 
changing  them  often.  Cover  with  a  rubber  blanket  to  keep  in  the  steam. 
Rub  hind  legs  with  strong  mustard  water.  Sling  him  up  if  you  can  ;  if 
not,  keep  deep,  soft  bedding  under  him,  and  turn  him  over  and  change 
his  position  twice  in  twenty-four  hours  anyhow ;  four  times  is  better. 

Feed  warm  bran  mashes.  Mix  into  it  two  of  my  Renovating  Pow- 
ders each  day.  Avoid  all  noise.  Keep  him  as  easy  and  comfortable  as 
you  can  in  every  way.  If  attended  to  in  first  stages,  this  treatment  is 
generally  successful. 

STOPPAGE   OF  WATER  AND    BLACK- 
WATER. 

Treat  as  for  colic  in  first  stages,  also  give  a  few  doses  of  my  Reno- 
vator. 

If  these  do  not  relieve  in  two  hours,  the  water  must  be  drawn  with  a 
catheter. 


VETERINARY  MEDICINES. 


LOOSENESS   OF  BOWELS.-SCOURS. 

Give  No.  I  Colic  Cure  once  in  thirty  minutes.  Usually  two  or  three 
doses  will  check  it. 

FOR    FAMILY    USE. 

FOR    COLIC    AND    CRAMPS. 

My  Colic  Cure  will  work  equally  well  on  the  human  as  on  the  equine 
race,  and  its  general  use  by  the  medical  fraternity  in  treating  the  above- 
mentioned  troubles  is  only  a  question  of  a  short  time,  thereby  saving, 
not  only  an  unlimited  amount  of  pain  and  sickness,  but  thousands  of 
human  lives. 

TREATMENT. 

For  full-grown  persons  five  to  ten  drops  is  a  dose,  according  to 
severity  of  the  attack.  It  is  quite  bitter  to  the  taste,  and  is  best  taken 
in  sweetened  water  or  with  licorice.  One  dose  is  usually  sufficient,  but 
if  not  much  better  in  fifteen  minutes,  take  another  dose.  I  have  never 
known  a  case  that  required  over  three  doses. 


Veterinary   Clinical   Thermometer. 

PRICE,    $2.00. 
DIRECTIONS    FOR    USE. 

1.  Take  the  instrument  firmly  in  the  hand,  and  shake  the  mercury 
in  the  tube  down  to  98°  or  below.  Handle  with  care,  as  the  mercury  is 
heavy,  and  the  glass  quite  thin.  Never  tap  the  thermometer  on  anything 
solid,  as  it  will  break  if  you  do.  Always  shake  it  down  by  swinging  the 
hand  sharply  until  the  mercury  is  all  together. 

2.  Raise  the  horse's  tail,  and  carefully  insert  the  bulb  or  heavy  end 
of  the  thermometer  about  two  thirds  its  length  into  the  rectum.  Let  it 
remain  four  to  five  minutes.  On  removing  it  note  the  exact  top  of  the 
column  of  mercury,  which  will  show  the  temperature  of  the  horse. 

3.  Put  the  instrument  aside,  as  the  mercury  will  remain  at  highest 
point  until  shaken  down,  and  shows  you,  when  ready  to  use  again,  just 
what  the  degree  of  fever  was  when  used  before.  So  you  can,  without 
making  a  memorandum,  tell  whether  fever  is  rising  or  falling.

Is  in  constant  use  by  hundreds  of  most  successful  practitioners  of  two 
continents.  Although  introduced  into  the  United  States  in  1877,  it  is 
fast  superseding  all  other  remedies,  and  is  to-day  used  in  more  than 
100,000  of  the  principal  stables  from  Maine  to  California.  Each  bottle 
contains  100  doses. 

DISTEMPER,   EPIZOOTIC,  PINKEYE, 

Is  caused  by  atmospheric  changes,  as  it  usually  occurs  in  spring  and 
fall,  when  animals  are  shedding  their  hair.  It  is  doubtless  many  times 
brought  on  by  ill-ventilated,  and  ill-smelling,  and  damp  stables,  or  great 
anl  sudden  changes  of  the  weather.  It  is  more  or  less  contagious, 
especially  in  stables  mentioned  above.  The  great  epizootic  or  dis- 
temper of  1872  seemed  to  be  in  the  air,  breaking  out  in  all  its  violence 
over  a  large  extent  of  country,  in  a  single  day,  and  attacking  every  grade 
and  condition  with  equal  severity,  and  fatality.  I  do  not  think  we 
need  to  expect  or  provide  against  any  similar  epidemic  among  our 
stock,  as  it  has  only  appeared  six  times  in  the  past  eight  hundred 
years,  but  rather  to  turn  our  attention  to  our  every-day  troubles, 
which  are  perhaps  in  many  cases  similar,  in  some  of  the  symptoms,  but 
lacking  in  general  severity  and  fatality,  if  attended  to  in  first  stages. 

SYMPTOMS. 

Usually  a  sudden  shivering  and  cold  legs  and  ears,  with  extreme 
roughness  of  coat ;   poor  appetite ;    sore  throat ;    trouble  in  swallow-

ing ;  the  eyes  become  dull,  the  lids  swell  and  tears  flow;  the  inside 
of  nostrils  is  deep  red  and  dry,  but  soon  a  thin  watery  discharge  is  no- 
ticed, followed  in  a  few  hours  by  a  thick  acrid  matter.  If  the  clinical 
thermometer  is  inserted  into  the  rectum,  the  temperature  will  be  at 
ioi°  to  103°.  If  not  well  treated  in  about  forty-eight  to  sixty  hours, 
the  thermometer  will  read  104°  to  105°  and  a  deep,  heavy  distressing 
cough  sets  in ;  the  horse  steps  around  and  is  in  great  pain,  while  films 
are  on  his  eyes,  which  are  nearly  closed.  Many  other  symptoms  will 
be  noticed  by  the  experienced  veterinarian,  and  horse  owner,  but  the 
above  will  suffice  to  determine  the  trouble  and  put  the  unprofessional 
on  the  right  track.  If  any  of  the  above  symptoms  are  noticed,  it  is 
always  advisable  to  watch  for  others,  and  at  once  be  on  your  guard,  as 
in  this  trouble  surely  a  "  stitch  in  time  saves  nine." 

TREATMENT. 

There  are  so  many  complications  with  this  disease  that  it  is  impossi- 
ble to  touch  on  the  treatment  to  be  followed  in  any  but  the  more 
common.  At  the  very  outset  let  me  impress  upon  your  mind  that  good 
and  careful  nursing  will  be  one  great  factor  in  the  problem  as  to 
whether  the  horse  lives  or  dies.  Blanket  him  well.  Give  him  pure 
air,  without tiraft,  cold  water  little  and  often.  Feed  him  anything  he 
will  eat,  as  what  little  strength  he  has  must  be  kept  up.  If  he  will  eat, 
mix  with  his  feed  one  of  my  Renovating  Powders  each  night  and  morn- 
ing. If  he  will  not  eat,  mix  one  of  the  powders  with  molasses  enough 
to  make  it  into  a  thick  mass  or  ball,  and  spread  it  on  his  tongue  at 
intervals,  so  he  will  use  two  powders  each  day.  Give  my  Fever  Drops 
in  all  stages.  If  not  much  sick  at  first,  six  to  ten  doses  of  thirty  drops 
each,  given  thirty  minutes  to  an  hour  apart,  will  break  it  up  ;  then  give 
once  in  two  hours,  both  night  and  day,  as  long  as  needed,  probably  two 
or  three  days.  Later  on  about  four  or  six  doses  each  twenty-four 
hours,  for  a  few  days. 

If  the  horse  at  first  shows  great  weakness  and  violent  chills,  give  my 
Fever  Drops  once  in  ten  to  thirty  minutes,  according  to  severity,  for 
two  or  three  hours.  Later  on  treat  as  for  ordinary  cases.  After  fever  is 
reduced  and  the  horse  begins  to  eat,  gradually  leave  off  the  Fever  Drops, 
but  continue  giving  or  feeding  the  Renovator,  and  keep  up  careful  nursing. 
Keep  everything  as  quiet  as  possible  at  all  times.  Every  man  who 
owns  a  few  horses  should  have  a  clinical  thermometer,  as  by  it  he  can 
infallibly  determine  how  much  fever  the  horse  has,  and  whether  the 
fever  is  rising  or  falling.  In  this  way  he  always  can  know  if  he  is  giv- 
ing the  right  amount  of  Fever  Drops  ;  as  if  he  should  see,  after  a  few 
hours'  treatment  the  fever  was  getting  lower,  he  would  feel  assured  of 
success  ;  but  if,  on  the  contrary,  it  was  higher,  he  would  give  the  doses 
oftener. 


12  DR.  A.  C.  DANIELS'  WARRANTED 


The  normal  or  natural  temperature  of  a  horse  is  within  a  fraction 
bf  98°.  At  102°  he  is  quite  feverish;  at  105°  he  is  dangerously  so. 
This  thermometer  will  show  many  times  whether  your  horse  has  colic, 
fever  or  inflammation  of  the  bowels,  and  be  of  the  greatest  assistance 
in  treating  your  stock. 

In  case  the  throat  is  sore  or  swollen,  always  steam  the  head  as  di- 
rected for  colds,  if  you  can  do  so  without  frightening  the  animal.  By 
using  water  that  will  throw  off  but  little  steam  at  first,  y-ou  can  gradually 
use  it  hotter.  A  horse  of  fair  intelligence  will  soon  show  that  he  likes 
this  steaming ;  seems  to  know  that  it  does  him  good. 

LUNG   FEVER -PNEUMONIA, 

Is  inflammation  of  the  lungs,  which  soon  causes  a  flow  of  secretion, 
which  fills  up  the  air  cells,  so  that  the  lungs  cannot  receive  the  air. 
Consequently  he  suffocates  and  dies,  or  else  the  lymph  is  absorbed  into 
the  system,  and  he  recovers. 

The  causes  of  this  common  and  dangerous  disease  are  many  ;  but  the 
most  common  is  the  taking  of  a  sudden  cold,  which,  being  neglected, 
rapidly  becomes  settled  on  the  lungs. 

SYMPTOMS. 

As  a  first  symptom  we  may  note  the  pulse,  which  in  health  stands 
about  40°,  now  rises  to  70°  or  80°  to  the  minute.  Taking  his  tempera- 
ture with  the  thermometer,  we  find  it  over  100°  ;  probably  103°  or  a  little 
more.  He  is  weary,  but  will  not  lie  down,  and  stands  braced  and 
rigid.  These  are  all  symptoms  of  Lung  Fever,  but  they  are  also 
symptoms  of  other  complications.  The  real  test  is  the  sound  of  the 
lungs  themselves,  by  tapping  on  the  side,  when  they  sound  dull',  or  by 
putting  the  ear  to  his  side,  and  listening  to  the  sound  of  the  air  passing 
through  the  lungs,  and  then  sounding  a  well  horse. 

TREATMENT. 

Similar  to  that  advised  for  distemper.  It  is  of  the  utmost  importanc< 
to  take  it  in  first  stages.  If  stable  is  close  or  smells  of  ammonia,  rt 
move  him  at  once,  where  he  can  have  plenty  of  good,  pure  air  (not  cold) 
Cover  every  part  of  him  with  warm  blankets  and  bandages.  Rub 
mustard  well  into  his  sides  and  breast,  but  do  not  let  it  remain  too 
long.  Give  all  the  cold  water  he  will  drink,  litde  and  often.  Let  his 
food  be  bran  mashes,  cooked  carrots,  and  clean,  nice  hay.  Give  my 
Fever  Drops  once  in  thirty  minutes  for  two  to  four  hours ;  later  on, 
once  an  hour.  Give  at  least  one  dose  of  my  Renovator  each  day,  as 
his  strength  must  be  kept  up  at  all  hazards.  When  the  pulse  gets  down 
near  45°  or  50°,  or  the  horse  sweats  profusely,  leave  off  giving  the  Fever 


VETERINARY  MEDICINES.  13 


Drops  so  often,  as  after  this  stage  is  reached  he  will  need  good  care 
and  not  much  medicine.  If  the  horse  seems  very  weak,  give  a  gill 
of  whiskey  four  times  a  day ;  if  costive,  give  soapsuds  injections 
occasionally. 

CHRONIC   COUGH 

Is  simply  an  old  cough,  or  a  cough  that  the  horse  has  been  troubled 
with  for  some  time.  It  arises  from  so  many  different  causes,  and  has 
so  many  variations,  that  no  accurate  definition  of  it  is  possible,  and  I 
don't  think  it  is  needed,  as  most  horse  owners  know  it  without  any  intro- 
duction. While  a  large  proportion  of  cases  are  incurable,  many  yield 
to  treatment ;  and  if  the  horse  is  of  any  value,  it  usually  is  worth  trying. 
Give  the  Fever  Drops  four  to  six  times  and  the  Renovator  twice  each  day. 
Feel  along  his  windpipe  carefully  for  some  enlargement  or  thickening. 
If  anything  of  this  nature  is  found,  clip  the  hair  over  the  spot,  and  apply 
my  Blister,  which  will  absorb  and  dissolve  any  thickening  of  the  carti- 
lage. Repeat  in  two  weeks  if  needed.  Many  times  an  attack  of  dis- 
temper will  cause  inflammation  and  swelling  of  the  throat,  which,  not 
being  properly  treated,  will  gradually  subside,  leaving  a  lump,  which 
obstructs  the  air  passages.  This  trouble  will  cause  a  horse  to  cough 
and  breathe  hard  after  a  long,  hard  pull  or  climbing  a  steep  hill. 

COLD   IN   THE    HEAD 

Is  an  inflammation  of  the  lining  of  the  nostrils  and  other  parts  of  the 
head  and  throat.  Sometimes  the  eyes  are  affected,  and  lids  swell  and 
tears  flow ;  the  throat  is  sore  and  the  horse  coughs. 

TREATMENT. 

If  taken  at  once,  give  three  to  five  doses  each  day  of  Dr.  Daniels' 
Fever  Drops.  Feed  bran  mashes.  Give  each  day  one  or  two  doses  of 
my  Renovator.  Keep  the  horse  in  a  cool  but  well-ventilated  stall  with- 
out draught,  and  keep  him  well  blanketed.  Hang  a  blanket  over  his 
head,  and  put  a  pail  of  hot  water  underneath.  Stir  it  gently,  to  cause 
steam  to  arise.  Put  in  a  piece  of  hot  iron,  or  stone  occasionally. 
Usually  two  or  three  days'  treatment,  with  the  Fever  Drops,  is  sufficient, 
but  feed  the  Renovator  for  a  week  or  two  after. 

MILK   FEVER   IN   COWS. 

This  dreaded  disease  has  proved  the  bane  of  dairymen  througnout 
the  world,  as  it  is  very  common,  and  generally  attacks  the  best  bred 
and  greatest  milkers  in  the  herd,  and  with  the  best  treatment,  if  any 
ways  severe  at  first,  has  hitherto   proved  fatal.      I    now   offer   you   a 


U  DR.  A.  C.  DANIELS'  WARRANTED 

remedy  which  I  do  not  claim  will  never  fail  under  any  conditions,  but 
which  will  prove,  upon  trial,  so  superior  to  all  medicines  hitherto  known 
as  to  astonish  the  long-experienced  dairyman  who  has  suffered  the  loss 
of  hundreds  and  perhaps  thousands  of  dollars  from  this  fell  destroyer  of 
his  most  valuable  cows.  I  can  and  will  prove  to  you,  by  the  undisput- 
able  evidence  of  your  own  experience,  on  your  own  stock,  that  at  last 
the  long-looked-for  medicine  and  treatment  are  at  hand,  and  that  with 
small  expense  in  money  or  time  you  can  bid  defiance  to  this  dread 
destroyer. 

MILK   FEVER,    PUERPERAL    FEVER, 

OR    INFLAMMATION    OF    THE    WOMB, 

Is  caused  by  injury  to  the  womb  in  calving,  exposure  to  colds  and 
chills  or  retained  after-birth.  It  is  also  attributed  at  times  to  conta- 
gion, as  it  is  found  more  liable  to  occur  in  herds  where  one  or  more 
cows  have  had  it. 

SYMPTOMS. 

Usually  appear  within  three  days  from  calving.  The  cow  carries 
her  head  low,  does  not  chew  her  cud,  poor  appetite,  and  steps  from 
side  to  side  with  her  hind  feet,  indicating  pain  in  hind  parts.  Breath- 
ing is  rapid,  eyes  bloodshot  and  staring,  with  a  flow  of  tears.  She  soon 
grows  weak,  and  falls  or  lies  down ;  seems  to  think  she  cannot  rise, 
and  appears  to  have  a  general  collapse.  Head  and  horns  hot  to  the 
hand.  In  first  stages  the  bowels  are  sometimes  loose,  but  usually  con- 
stipated, and  the  evacuations  are  darker  than  usual.  The  urine  is  light 
colored. 

TREATMENT. 

If  the  cow  is  down,  get  her  body  and  head  into  the  position  in  which 
cattle  usually  lie.  Pack  bedding  around  her,  to  hold  her  in  easy  posi- 
tion, with  head  well  raised.  Give  her  at  once  about  a  quart  of  raw 
linseed  oil.  Put  a  bag  of  broken  ice  on  back  of  her  head,  and  change 
it  once  in  two  or  three  hours.  Feed  carrots,  bran  mashes,  or  any  easily 
digested  food.  Give  injections  into  the  rectum  of  blood-warm  soapsuds 
every  hour.  Give  in  ordinary  cases  Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  in  thirty- 
drop  doses,  well  back  on  the  tongue  or  gullet,  once  in  half  an  hour, 
till  a  marked  improvement  is  noticed.  Later  on  pnce  an  hour. 
Usually  two  days  will  effect  a  cure.  In  severe  cases,  when  the  cow  will 
make  no  effort  to  rise  and  the  eyes  look  dead  and  glassy,  administer 
the  Fever  Drops  once  in  ten  or  fifteen  minutes  for  two  to  four  hours,  or 


VETERINARY  MEDICINES.  15 

uiitil  the  cow  appears  quiet  and  as  if  pain  was  relieved.  Then  give  once 
in  half  an  hour,  to  an  hour,  till  she  eats  and  appears  all  right.  This 
treatment  will  effect  a  cure  in  ninety-five  cases  in  a  hundred,  and  will 
never  fail  if  the  case  is  taken  in  time.  It  is  always  well  to  give  the  Fever 
Drops  to  every  cow,  five  or  six  thirty-drop  doses  each  day  for  three 
days  after  calving.  Always  give  the  cow  a  plenty  of  gentle  exercise  for 
a  month  before  calving.  These  precautions  will  save  millions  of  dollars 
to  the  dairymen  of  this  country  each  year, 

FOR     FAMILY    USE. 

The  Cough,  Cold,  and  Fever  Drops  is,  without  any  doubt,  the  best 
remedy  on  earth,  for  use  in  the  family  for  coughs,  colds,  and  fevers. 
It  will  break  up  a  severe  cold  in  one  night,  but  it  must  be  the  first 
night  after  the  exposure.  For  a  cough  it  is  incomparable  ;  has  relieved 
and  cured  hundreds  of  old  chronic  coughs  of  months'  and  even  years' 
standing.  It  works  like  a  charm  in  bronchial  affections,  when  there 
seems  to  be  a  tickling  in  the  throat,  which  is  caused  by  an  inflammation, 
and  irritation  of  the  bronchical  tubes  or  air  passages.  It  cannot  be 
expected,  with  reason,  that  a  few  doses  will  cure  a  cough  of  long 
standing ;  it  should  be  used  at  regular  intervals,  for  a  considerable  time, 
in  all  such  cases. 


COLDS  OR  NEW  COUGHS. 

Put  a  teaspoonful  of  the  drops  in  a  medium-sized  glass  of  water,  and 
take  a  teaspoonful  of  that  water  every  hour  until  feeling  of  tightness 
is  relieved.  After  that,  take  the  same  dose  once  in  two  to  four  hours 
until  well.  In  severe  cases,  it  may  be  taken  once  in  fifteen  minutes, 
until  patient  perspires  freely. 


OLD  OR  CHRONIC  COUGH. 

Prepare  the  medicine  as  directed  for  colds,  and  take  the  same  sized 
dose  once  in  four  hours,  night  and  day.  This  must  be  followed  for  at 
least  a  week,  and  probably  two  weeks  before  any  improvement  will  be 
noticed.  If  cough  is  very  troublesome,  it  is  advisable  to  take  a  smaller 
dose  once  in  two  hours.  It  is  impossible  to  give  directions  for  treat- 
ing all  cases.  Each  can  tell  what  amount  is  best  suited  for  his  case 
after  a  short  trial.  Enough  should  be  taken  to  relieve  and  loosen  the 
cough  ;  then  continue  about  in  the  same  way.

Horse  Renovator. 


ESPECIALLY    DESIGNED    FOR 


FITTING  HORSES  FOR  MARKET  OR  FINE  PRIVATE  USE. 

ALSO,    FOR 

COUGHS,  INDIGESTION,  LOSS  OF  APPETITE,  ETC. 


Believing  that  there  was  a  demand  among  the  better  class  of  horse- 
men for  Condition  Powders  that  would  really  do  what  was  claimed  for 
them,  with  whom  quality  and  not  gtmntity  would  count,  I  have  not 
spared  pains  or  expense  in  manufacturing  this  medicine,  and  the  enor- 
mous sales  which  it  has  attained  are  indeed  flattering  to  my  judgment. 

If  given  occasionally,  it  will  ward  off  Fits,  Colic,  Fever,  Indigestion, 
Heaves,  Worms,  Bots,  Pinkeye,  etc.,  and  keep  your  horse  looking  and 
feeling  as  "fine  as  silk."  If  your  horse  coughs,  does  not  shed  his  old 
cpat,  is  hide-bound  or  pinch  bellied,  scours,  does  not  eat  nor  digest  his 
food  well,  legs  stocked,  or  he  drives  dull  and  logy,  try  this  medicine. 
It  will  show  its  effects  on  the  kidneys  in  one  day,  on  his  spirits  in  two 
days,  greatly  improve  his  general  condition  within  two  weeks,  and  many 
times  add  twenty-five  or  even  fifty  pounds  to  his  weight. 

ALL   ROOTS   AND    BARKS, 

When  ground  and  exposed  to  the  air,  soon  lose  their  strength  and  vir- 
tue. For  this  reason,  and  also  that  exactly  the  same  dose  may  be  given 
each  time,  to  insure  the  best  results,  I  have  put  each  dose  in  a  separate 
box,  thus  insuring  the  strength  of  this  medicine,  even  if  kept  for  years. 
I  warrant  it  to  cleanse  the  system  of  all  impurities  arising  from  bad 
blood,  disordered  stomach  or  kidneys. 

This  wonderful  remedy  has  put  hundreds  of  thousands  of  worn-out, 
and  run-down  horses  in  fine  condition.  No  matter  who  has  been 
treating  your  horse  without  success,  or  how  long  continued  has  been 
his  trouble,  I  ask  you  to  try  this  medicine.  If  very  badly  out  of 
order,  two  doses  a  day  may  be  given.  Bear  in  mind  that  it  will  take 
time  to  remedy  a  case  of  long  standing  ;  but  if  you  will  try  it  thoroughly 
and  your  horse  has  not  improved,  you  can  get  your  money  refunded 
from  any  one  who  sells  you  the  medicine.  What  the  electric  is  among 
lights,  my  Renovator  is  to  other  condition  powders.  Those  who 
have  not  used  it,  cannot  know,  or  understand,  what  its  effect  will  be  in 
restoring  to  health,  and  spirit,  a  run-down,  or  low-spirited  horse. 
Words  fail  me  in  striving  to  convey  to  you  any  adequate  idea  of  what 
a  few  doses  of  this  remarkable  preparation  will  do.

MM  HORSES  THiLT  ARE  KEPT  FOR  PLEASURE  DRIVING  do  not  have 
exercise  enough.  Especially  is  this  true  during  long-continued  spells  of 
bad  weather.  When  the  horse  is  taken  out  he  seems  to  feel  in  the  best 
of  spirits.  He  starts  off  beautifully,  but  soon  begins  to  sweat,  becomes 
dull  and  logy.  If  touched  with  the  whip,  he  soon  falls  back,  and  seems 
to  feel  weak  and  shiftless,  which  is  his  exact  condition.  To  owners  of 
nice  driving  horses,  I  say  try  a  single  package  of  my  Renovator  on 
such  a  horse,  and  note  the  wonderful  change  ;  note  his  change  of 
spirit,  style,  and  endurance.  All  is  changed.  He  pricks  his  ear  at 
sound  of  following  footsteps,  is  all  life  and  energy,  and  ready  to  do 
his  best  at  a  moment's  notice.  Don't  understand  me  to  say  that  it  will 
change  a  work-horse  into  a  thoroughbred ;  but  that  a  few  doses  a 
week  will  put  any  horse,  that  has  natural  life  and  spirit,  into  the  best 
of  shape,  and  will  maintain  that  high  condition.  The  question 
is  often  asked.  How  long  is  it  best  to  continue  feeding  this 
powder?  In  answer  I  will  say,  that  usually  one  or  two  packages 
will  put  a  horse  into  the  best  possible  condition.  After  that  point  is 
reached,  one  or  two  doses  a  week,  will  keep  his  blood,  stomach,  and 
kidneys  in  a  high  state  of  health,  and  consequently  his  hair  will  look 
its  best. 

No  ARSENIC,  ANTIMONY,  OR  ROSIN,  or  Other  poisons  are  used  in 
its  composition.  It  is  a  powerful  tonic  blood  purifier,  diuretic  and 
demulcent. 

I  recommend  it  to  be  used,  under  all  conditions,  in  connection  with 
my  Fever  Drops.  It  carries  off  all  acrid  and  poisonous  secretions  by 
way  of  the  kidneys  and  sweat  glands,  and  is  of  the  greatest  value  in 
all  inflammations  of  the  membranes  of  the  throat,  stomach,  and  bowels. 
Nothing  can  equal  its  action  in  keeping  up  the  strength  during  fevers 
and  inflammations,  building  up  the  system,  and  throwing  off  all  foul 
acrid  and  residual  particles  of  disease  afterwards. 

POULTICES. 

Poultices  are  of  the  greatest  value  in  some  cases,  in  fact,  indispensable. 
A  first-class  poultice  is  made  by  pouring  boiling  water  into  bran.  All 
the  better  if  one  fourth  as  much  linseed  meal  has  been  put  with  the 
bran.  Pour  the  water  on  slowly,  stirring  the  bran,  and  let  it  stand  and 
cook  a  few  minutes,  and  put  it  on  as  hot  as  can  be  borne.  Always 
make  enough.  Use  for  ordinary  poultices  six  or  eight  quarts  of  bran 
and  two  quarts  linseed.  Get  it  just  thick  enough  so  it  will  spread 
around  nicely  without  any  lumps.  If  used  before  it  is  well  cooked,  it  is 
liable  to  grow  dry  and  be  of  no  use.  Boiled  turnips  can  be  substituted 
for  linseed  if  more  convenient.  Always  use  a  large  quantity  of  the 
poultice,  and  have  it  soft  and  moist.

Wonder  Worker 

LINIMENT. 

The    Most    "Wonderful    Healer    ever    Known    for 
For  all   kinds  of  Sprains,  Sores,  or  Wounds,  either  new  or  old, 


NATURE'S    CURE 

For    Burns,    Scalds,    Piles,    Chafing,    Ingrowing    Nails,    Salt 
Rheum,  etc. 

Also  for   Harness  Galls,  Cuts,  Sore   Shoulders,   Scratches,  Thrush, 
and   Lameness  from  any  cause  whatever. 


This  wonderful  medicine  is  a  revolution  in  everything  heretofore  ap- 
pertaining to  liniment;  is  a  powerful  astringeni — healing  from  the 
moment  of  its  application.  It  contains  no  poisonous  ingredients  ;  will 
never  blister,  even  if  covered  with  a  bandage ;  and  while  it  will  not 
remove  spavins  and  ringbones,  its  continued  use  will  remove  any 
soreness  of  flesh,  cords,  or  muscles. 

Cures  harness  galls  and  keep  working  the  horse  ;  stops  bleeding,  and 
heals  any  ordinary  wounds  without  soreness  or  festering. 

This  medicine  is  rightly  named,  as  it  is  the  most  wonderful  healer 
known  to  man.  It  is  so  mild  and  still  so  powerful  to  heal  that  its 
action  creates  the  greatest  surprise  among  people  who  have  had  the 
most  extensive  experience  in  treating  sores  and  wounds  of  every  kind. 
While  so  soothing  as  to  be  used  as  a  gargle  for  sore  throat  or  even  on 
a  chafing  baby  with  no  evil  effects,  it  is  still  powerful  enough  to  eat 
out  proud  flesh  in  a  few  hours,  and  heal  sores  of  many  years^  standing, 
that  have  resisted  the  most  heroic  treatment.  It  will  act  with  the  most 
surprising  results  on  flesh  wounds,  stopping  the  flow  of  blood  at  once 
and  cauterizing  the  flesh,  forming  a  coating  almost  instantly,  that  pre- 
vents the  air  striking  the  lacerated  and  raw  flesh.  The  alcohol  used  in 
its  preparation  will  in  some  cases  cause  for  a  moment  a  smarting  ;  but 
this  is  soon  over,  and  is  succeeded  by  the  most  cooling  sensation.  This 
medicine  is  a  great  departure  from  all  former  application  of  which 
medicinal  works  give  us  any  knowledge.

It  contains  no  poisonous  ingredients  whatever.  Its  ingredients  are 
so  common  sense,  so  simple,  as  to  commend  itself  at  once  to  all  who 
know  its  composition.  I  recommend  it  in  every  kind  of  soreness  of 
flesh  or  muscles  in  man  or  beast  that  can  be  reached  by  an  outward 
application.  No  medicine  for  soreness  ever  discovered,  compares  with 
it.  Words  fail  in  accurately  describing  its  remarkable,  and  wondrous 
healing  power.  While  competitors  are  sounding  the  praises  of  their 
"  cure  alls  "  on  golden  bugles  and  silver  trumpets,  we  are  reheving  the 
distressed  and  healing  those  who  are  almost  without  hope,  causing 
joy  to  succeed  sorrow  in  thousands  of  hearts  in  every  country  in  the 
civihzed  world.  I  am  daily  in  receipt  of  heartfelt  and  thankful  letters 
of  recommendation  of  this  true  Wonder  Worker  from  the  poor  and 
illiterate  as  well  as  the  most  highly  educated  and  wealthy,  and  in  almost 
every  language. 

I  do  not  recommend  it  for  deep-seated  lameness  of  the  muscles,  or 
where  a  counter-irritant  liniment  is  required,  but  for  all  sprains  of  the 
superficial  muscles  and  every  kind  of  soreness  of  the  flesh,  whether 
the  skin  is  abraided  or  not,  it  will  always  do  its  wonderful  work. 

Flesh  Wounds.  — Apply  the  Wonderworker  freely,  as  quickly 
as  possible.  If  the  wound  is  deep,  inject  the  liniment  into  its  deepest 
part  with  a  syringe.  A  sponge  well  saturated  with  it  may  be  bound  on 
the  wound. 

Scratches.  —  Clean  off  all  dirt,  and  wipe  dry  with  a  soft  cloth ; 
then  apply  the  Wonder  Worker  three  times  a  day,  and  feed  the  Ren- 
ovator once  or  twice  each  day,  to  cleanse  the  blood,  which  in  the  larger 
proportion  of  cases  is  the  primary  seat  of  the  disease.  Never  wash  the 
sore  and  swollen  ankles  with  water  or  suds,  but  keep  them  as  dry  as 
possible.  Several  of  my  patrons  have  used  the  Hoof  Grower  on 
scratches  with  great  success. 

Bruised  Knees  or  Ankles,  caused  by  stumbling  or  interfering, 
are  rapidly  cooled  down  and  healed  by  using  the  Wonder  Worker  if 
applied  at  once.  After  the  knee  has  become  much  swollen,  poultice  it, 
reduce  the  swelling,  and  then  apply  the  liniment,  rubbing  in  well. 

Sprains,  Strains,  or  any  soreness  of  the  flesh  or  muscles,  are 
rapidly  cured  by  applying  the  Wonder  Worker  three  or  more  times 
daily,  rubbing  it  in  thoroughly  with  the  hand.     Bandage  if  needed.

Saddle  or  Harness  Galls  and  Chaps.  — Apply  the  Wonder 

Worker  with  a  small  sponge  several  times  a  day,  and  if  possible  remove 
the  saddle  from  the  wound.  This  liniment  will  not  smart  or  blister 
under  any  circumstances,  but  cools  the  fevered  flesh,  and  forms  a 
coating  over  the  raw  spot  at  once.  I  recommend  saturating  the  hair 
and  skin  on  breast  or  back  of  a  green  horse  before  working  him,  as  it 
will  toughen  and  harden  the  skin. 

Thrush  or  Foot  Rot. — Clean  out  and  cut  away  all  dead  or 
diseased  hoof;  then  turning  the  foot  up,  pour  in  a  little  Wonder 
Worker  to  fill  the  cracks  around  the  heel  and  frog.  Hold  the  foot  a 
few  minutes,  to  let  it  strike  in.  Do  this  twice  a  day.  Three  days  will 
usually  effect  a  cure. 

Calked  Hoof  or  Quarters.— Apply  the  Wonder  Worker  as 
soon  as  possible  after  the  accident,  wetting  the  part  thoroughly.  It  will 
soon  close  the  wound  and  prevent  all  soreness.  Hundreds  of  trotters 
in  races  have  grabbed  their  quarters  badly,  and  been  laid  by  for  weeks, 
if  not  permanently  injured.  A  timely  use  of  my  liniment  will  work  like  a 
charm,  and  the  horse  go  on  and  finish  his  race,  and  never  take  ^  lame 
step  from  any  ordinary  cut. 

Nail  in  the  Foot. — Draw  out  the  nail,  and  with  a  sharp  knife 
cut  out  around  the  hole  in  a  tunnel  shape,  being  very  careful  to  get  to 
the  very  bottom  of  the  puncture.  Then,  holding  up  the  foot,  fill  the 
hole  with  Wonder  Worker,  and  let  it  soak  in.  Do  this  three  times  a 
day  for  two  or  three  days.  Sometimes  it  is  well  to  fill  a  small  sponge 
with  it,  and,  pressing  it  into  the  wound,  fasten  it  there  by  putting  a 
piece  of  zinc  or  thin  hoop  iron  over  it  and  spring  the  ends  under  the 
shoe.     You  need  not  fear  lockjaw  if  you  follow  above  directions. 


CATTLE. 

Cows'  Teats  are  often  chapped  and  sore,  but  are  quickly  cured 
by  applying  the  Wonder  Worker  night  and  morning.  Next  day  apply 
Hoof  Grower  night  and  morning. 

Foot  Rot  or  Thrush.  —  Working  oxen  are  very  liable  to  this 
trouble.  The  Wonder  Worker  will  cure  even  after  all  other  remedies 
have  been  tried  and  failed.  Either  pour  on  a  little  between  the  dew 
claws  two  or  three  times  a  day,  or  apply  with  a  soft  swab.  It  will 
soon  eat  out  the  proud  flesh  or  core,  after  which  apply  the  Hoof 
Grower  a  few  times. 


Veterinary  MEDicmEs.  21 

Sore  Neck. — Apply  the  Wonder  Worker  three  times  a  day.  One 
day^s  use  will  surprise  one  unacquainted  with  this  medicine. 

Cattle  that  are  b  uised  or  gored  should  be  treated  at  once 

with  Wonder  Worker.      If  wound  is  punctured,  inject    the   liniment 
with  a  syringe. 

AS    A     FAMILY     LINIMENT 

the  Wonder  Worker  will  be  found  indispensable.     Its  only  objection  is 
that  it  will  stain  white  clothing. 

Burns  and  Scalds. —  Undoubtedly  many  thousands  of  human 
lives  might  have  been  saved  by  a  timely  use  of  this  wonderful  healer, 
as,  if  applied  at  once,  its  action  is  marvellous.  It  will  instantly  form  a 
coating  over  the  flesh,  keeping  out  the  air,  relieving  all  pain  at  once, 
and  beginning  to  heal  from  the  moment  of  its  application.  Ladies  and 
children  who  are  around  the  cook  stove,  very  often  get  a  small  burn, 
which  will  cause  great  pain.  A  few  drops  of  this  liniment  will  save 
hours  of  pain  and  torture. 

Cuts.  —  Applied  at  once,  the  Wonder  Worker  will  stop  bleeding, 
and  close  the  wound,  and  prevent  all  soreness  and  inflammation. 

I ncr rowing  Nails.  — Apply  the  Wonder  Worker  with  soft  sponge 
or  cloth.     Bind  it  on  over  night. 

Rheumatism.  —  In  many  cases  of  this  painful  disease,  nothing 
has  ever  been  discovered  for  an  outward  application  to  compare  with 
the  Wonder  Worker.  Rub  it  in  gently  with  the  hand,  and  then  by  any 
convenient  means  heat  the  afflicted  part.  This  should  be  repeated 
every  hour  or  two  until  relieved.  Prepare  my  Cough,  Cold,  and  Fever 
Drops  as  directed  for  coughs,  and  take  the  same  dose,  once  in  half  an 
hour  to  an  hour,  until  relieved.  After  feeling  of  soreness  is  removed, 
take  the  same  sized  dose,  once  in  four  hours,  for  a  few  days.  People 
who  are  subject  to  rheumatism  will  do  well  to  take  a  few  doses  at  once, 
after  any  exposure  to  cold  or  dampness. 

Neuralgia.  —  This  very  King  of  Pain  yields  to  a  thorough  treat- 
ment with  the  Wonder  Worker  and  Fever  Drops,  as  directed  for  rheu- 
matism. It  has  afforded  relief  to  the  tortured  nerves  in  a  few  hours, 
and  sometimes  minutes,  in  cases  that  had  baffled  the  ablest  physicians, 
and  defied  all  treatment  for  weeks,  months,  and  sometimes  years.  Do 
not  delay  its  use  for  a  moment.  On  first  symptoms  of  it,  begin  at 
once,  and  save  yourself  from  the  clutches  of  this  indescribable  devil  of 
torture. 

Piies.  —  Many  thousands  of  bottles  of  the  Wonder  Worker  have 
been  used  for  this  disgusting,  and  distressing  trouble,  and  I  have  never 
yet  heard  of  a  single  instance  where  it  did  not  afford  immediate  relief.

and  in  a  great  majority  of  cases  an  ultimate  cure.  It  has  entirely,  and 
permanently  cured,  many  cases  tliat  were  of  many  years'  standing,  on 
which  in  some  instances  hundreds  of  dollars  had  been  thrown  away  in 
vainly  searching  for  relief  even.  To  any  troubled  to  a  greater  or  less 
degree  with  this  annoying  comj^laint,  I  say  that  one  bottle  of  the  Wonder 
Worker  will  relieve  and  probably  permanently  cure  you.  Try  it,  and  tell 
your  suffering  friends  the  result.  Obtain  a  small  soft  sponge,  fill  it  with 
the  liniment,  and  carefully  touch  the  parts,  say  twice  a  day.  Sometimes  it 
is  more  convenient  to  tie  the  sponge  to  a  small  stick  or  pencil.  If  all 
parts  cannot  be  reached  in  this  way,  use  a  small  syringe,  to  inject  a  small 
quantity.

HOOF  GROWER  AND  SORENER. 


No  part  of  the  Horse  is  less  understood,  or  more  neglected 
than  the  Foot.  The  Horse  was  created  to  run  wild  barefooted, 
his  feet  constantly  WET.  Man  has  changed  his  condition,  keep- 
ing his  feet  almost  constantly  DRY,  which  causes  at  least 

ONE  HALF  OF  ALL  LAMENESS  OF  HORSES. 

This  remedy  is  a  positive  cure  for  all  ailments  of  horses'  feet,  caused 
by  hard  and  constant  driving  on  hard  roads,  or  by  standing  in  the  sta- 
bles. It  will  prevent  and  remove  all  brittleness,  cures  and  prevents 
shelliness,  and  quarter  crack,  by  promoting  the  rapid  growth  of  the  hoof 
—  will  make  the  feet  soft  and  tough.  Corns  are  cured  by  the  new 
growth  of  hoof  being  pared  away.  It  is  especially  recommended  for 
trotting,  driving,  or  carriage  horses,  where  shoeing  is  needed  often,  as  it 
grows  plenty  of  hoof  to  be  cut  away,  toughens  the  whole  foot  so  that 
■the  nails  hold  good,  and  greatly  lessens  the  liability  of  tearing  away  a 
large  piece  of  the  hoof  when  a  shoe  is  torn  off.  It  makes  soaking  and 
packing  entirely  unnecessary,  saving  time  and  labor.  In  short,  it  makes 
the  hooi  groTU,  softens  and  toughens  it,  and  draws  out  the  soreness,  as 
no  amount  of  soaking  can  possibly  do,  and  will 

GROW   A    NEW    HOOF   IN    FROM   THREE   TO    FOUR    MONTHS. 

To  one  unacquainted  with  the  wonderful  properties  of  this  remedy, 
and  who  has  noticed  the  slow  growth  of  a  hoof,  it  seems  unreasonable 
to  claim  to  grow  an  entirely  new  hoof  in  so  short  a  time,  and  he  de- 
cides that  it  can't  be  done.  To  all  I  say,  try  this  remedy  and  follow  the 
directions  thoroughly ;  and  while  it  may  not  do  all  I  claim  in  e7Jery 


VETERINARY   MEDICINES.  23 

case,  if  you  are  not  satisfied  with  the  results  at  the  end  of  three  or 
four  months,  and  do  not  think  your  money  and  time  well  spent,  go  to 
the  place  you  bought  it,  and  get  the  money  you  paid  for  it.  Can  any- 
thing be  fairer?  Of  the  fifteen  millions  of  horses  in  this  country,  cer- 
tainly half  of  them,  at  some  time  or  other,  have  trouble  with  their  feet, 
and  a  large  proportion  of  them  become  dead  lame  and  almost  useless. 
Think  of  the  loss  to  the  owners,  to  say  nothing  of  the  pain  and  misery 
endured  by  the  tortured  animals.  I  do  not  claim  that  all  can  be  aired, 
but  all  can  be  helped  and  relieved,  at  small  expense  in  time  and  money. 

When  you  notice  the  beast  flinching  on  the  hard  road  or  pave- 
ment, or  going  down  hill,  or  your  horse,  when  standing  still,  rests  or 
puts  out  his  forefoot,  do  not  delay,  but  use  this  ointment  at  once. 
Don't  let  your  animal  get  lame  before  you  attend  to  him  ;  prevention 
is  far  better  than  cure.  Any  of  the  above  signs  are  indications  that 
his  frog  is  hard  and  dry,  the  coronet  non-elastic,  or  the  foot  becoming 
contracted.  Examine  his  feet,  and  clean  them,  especially  the  cracks 
around  the  frog.  If  it  smells  foul,  he  has  the  thrush,  in  which  case  use 
the  Wonder  Worker  as  directed.  Feel  around  the  top  of  the  hoof 
under  the  hair,  press  the  upper  edge  with  your  nail.  If  found  hard  and 
unyielding,  rub  on  the  Hoof  Grower,  and  work  it  in  well.  Many  times 
the  upper  edge  of  the  hoof,  which  should  be  quite  soft,  will  grow  hard 
and  curl  over  like  an  ingrowing  nail,  and  cause  the  most  excruciating 
pain.  The  frog  is  the  cushion  provided  by  nature  to  prevent  the  effects 
of  the  concussion  when  the  foot  strikes  hard  substances.  When  the 
frog  becomes  hard  and  bone-like,  it  loses  all  its  elasticity,  and  is  useless 
for  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  intended,  and  inflammation  quickly 
results.  You  must  pay  close  attention  to  the  frog,  and,  when  found 
growing  hard,  apply  the  Hoof  Grower  around  it.  In  order  to  have  it 
reach  the  very  bottom  of  the  deep  cracks  around  the  frog,  it  is  best  to 
melt  the  ointment  when  putting  it  in.  Sometimes  it  may  be  more  con- 
venient to  put  the  ointment  in  with  the  finger,  and  then  touch  it  with  a 
small  iron  rod  heated  a  little  by  a  lamp  or  stove.  It  is  of  no  use  to  use 
this  remedy  a  few  times  only,  in  relieving  sore  and  contracted  feet, 
as  no  permanent  good  will  come  of  it,  unless  it  is  used  for  some  length 
of  time. 

In  other  places  I  have  recommended  this  ointment  being  used  in 
connection  with  the  Wonder  Worker  for  healing  sore  teats, 
scratches,  etc. 

FOR   FAMILY   USE. 

My  Hoof  Grower  will  be  found  the  most  healing  and  valuable  salve 
ever  put  on  the  market  in  every  case  for  which  a  nice  clean  salve  is 
needed  in  the  family.  Nothing  nicer  or  cleaner  was  ever  used.  It 
stimulates,  draws  mildly,  and  heals  at  same  time.  You  will  have  no 
use  for  high-priced  salves  after  one  trial  of  it.

WORM  KILLER. 

I  am  of  the  opinion  that  every  horse,  has  at  all  times,  more  or  less 
worms,  but  not  in  such  abundance  as  to  be  a  source  of  annoyance. 
While  in  some  cases  worms  are  the  primary  cause  of  sickness  and 
alimentary  disturbances,  usually  worms  are  a  symptom  or  indication 
of  a  disordered  stomach  and  indigestion.  Understand  me  to  say  that 
when  the  condition  of  the  horse  is  weakened  or  low,  either  from  over- 
feed, overwork,  neglect,  irregular  feeding,  etc.,  then  the  conditions  are 
favorable  for  the  worms  to  increase  and  multiply,  and  not  only  irritate 
the  horse  to  an  alarming  degree,  but  to  eat  up  and  destroy  and  rob 
him  of  the  health  and  strength  giving  properties  of  his  food,  so  that 
all  his  former  bad  condition  is  rapidly  made  worse,  his  spirit  is  gone, 
coat  is  rough  and  staring,  appetite  poor,  food  passes  half  digested, 
in  many  cases  he  scours,  and  his  owner  wonders  why  he  does  no  better 
when  he  feeds  him  so  well  and  works  him  so  lightly.  Over  thirty 
distinct  varieties  of  worms  infest  the  horse,  but  two  are  most  common. 

THE  ROUND  WORM,  resembling  the  common  earth  worm  in 
size  and  shape,  sometimes  reaching  a  foot  or  more  in  length,  inhabits 
the  small  intestines  and  sometimes  the  stomach.  Probably  a  few  do 
little  if  any  injury,  but  a  large  number  impair  digestion,  the  stomach  is 
out  of  order,  and  the  horse  is  soon  out  of  condition,  and  runs  down  with 
no  visible  cause.  I  consider  this  worm  the  cause  of  many  horses  having 
fits,  and  consequently  very  dangerous.  One  or  two  packages  of  my 
Worm  Killer  will  expel  them,  if  the  amount  of  hay  and  grain  is  cut 
down  and  the  Killer  fed  in  cooked  bran  mash.  It  is  almost 
impossible  to  eradicate  worms  from  a  stomach  and  bowels  that  are 
crowded  and  stuffed  with  hay  and  rich  grain.  In  treating  for  worms 
always  cut  down  the  feed.  Give  the  Killer  in  a  small  warm  bran 
mash,  and  don't  feed  anything  more  for  six  to  ten  hours. 

THE  NEEDLE  OR  PIN  WORM.  — A  small,  white  worm 
from  one  to  two  inches  long;  breeds  in  the  colon  and  rectum,  often 
appearing  in  tens  of  thousands.  They  are  very  irritating  to  the  horse 
when  in  the  rectum,  causing  great  uneasiness  and  rubbing  of  the  tail. 
It  is  hard  to  reach  this  fellow  by  way  of  the  stomach,  as  all  medicines 
have  to  pass  through  the  glands  and  organs  of  digestion  and  assimila- 
tion, and  nearly  all  its  properties  are  supposed  to  be  taken  into  the 
system  before  reaching  the  rectum,  or  large  bowel.  It  is  so  much 
more  convenient  to  give  the  Worm  Killer  in  the  feed,  than  by  an  injec- 
tion, that  in  general  people  prefer  to  try  this  method  first,  and  usually 
with  first-class  results ;  but  in  some  cases  it  is  necessary  to  give  the 
Worm  Killer  in  form  of  an  injection. 


VETERINARY  MEDICINES.  25 

In  this  case  it  is  best  to  proceed  just  after  the  horse  has  evacuated 
his  rectum.  Dissolving  two  doses  of  the  Killer  in  two  quarts  of  boiling 
water,  after  ten  minutes  add  cold  water  enough  to  bring  it  to  blood 
heat,  and  inject  it  into  his  rectum.  Repeat  this  treatment  in  eight 
or  ten  days,  to  kill  the  brood  that  will  hatch  out  in  the  meantime. 
The  dose  as  put  up  is  right  amount  for  a  full-grown  horse.  Colts 
should  have  one  half  a  dose,  more  or  less  according  to  age  and  size. 
The  Worm  Killer  can  be  fed  to  brood  mares  with  perfect  safety. 
Thousands,  yes  millions  of  horses  that  have  no  visible  sign  of  worms, 
are  literally  alive  with  them ;  and  if  these  powders  are  fed  according 
to  directions,  these  worms  will  be  thrown  off,  and  the  horse  will 
improve  at  once.  On  the  other  hand,  because  you  notice  that  your 
horse  passes  a  worm  occasionally,  it  is  not  a  certain  indication  that 
he  is  "wormy"  in  the  ordinary  sense  of  the  word,  but  it  is  always 
good  judgment  to  treat  for  worms  at  least  indication.  The  action  of 
this  medicine  is  most  scientific,  as  while  expelling  the  worms  it  tones

DR.   DANIELS' 

ABSORBENT  BLISTER. 


FOR   CURBS,   SPLINTS,    ETC. 

Having  so  much  demand  for  something  that  would  remove  enlarge- 
ments like  curbs,  splints,  thickened  ankles,  enlarged  knees,  etc.,  I  have 
decided  to  put  this  Blister  in  a  convenient  form,  and  place  it  within  the 
reach  of  all.  While  no  specific  directions  can  be  given  for  using  it  in 
all  cases,  a  little  practice  will  teach  any  one  to  handle  it  with  good 
results.  The  object  desired  is  to  remove  the  swelling,  or  bunch,  and 
not  scar,  or  disfigure  the  animal.  This  remedy  is  designed  to  create, 
first,  an  irritation,  and,  secondly,  to  absorb  the  thickened  cartilage. 
The  severity  of  the  blister  is  regulated  by  the  quantity  applied,  and 
how  thoroughly  and  long  it  is  rubbed  in.  It  is  better,  in  beginning  to 
use  it,  to  go  careful,  and  at  first  apply  but  little,  and  rub  it  in  well,  and 
watch  results,  as  the  treatment  can  be  repeated  any  number  of  times 
until  the  desired  result  is  obtained.  Only  one  leg  or  spot  should  be 
treated  at  once ;  and  the  hair  should  always  be  closely  cut  or  shaved. 
Never  blister  when  it  is  highly  inflamed  or  shows  signs  of  erysipelas. 
If  the  blister  should  cause  the  horse  too  much  pain  or  irritability,  or 
loss  of  appetite,  wash  the  blistered  part  with  warm  soapsuds,  and 
smear  the  sore  with  sweet,  or  any  clean  oil.    Always.be  careful  to  tie  the 


DR.  A.  C.  DANIELS'  WARRANTED 


horse  in  such  a  way  that  he  cannot  bite  the  blistered  place,  which  he 
will  always  try  to  do,  and  will  get  himself  into  the  most  curious  posi- 
tions in  order  to  do  so.  Many  fine  horses  have  disfigured  themselves 
for  life  by  biting  and  tearing  at  a  small  blister.  It  is  many  times  desir- 
able to  hitch  their  tails,  to  keep  them  from  twisting  around  their  hind 
quarters.  Let  the  part  get  well  and  the  scabs  fall  off  themselves, 
before  using  the  blister  the  second  time.  If  the  first  blistering  was 
satisfactory,  do  not  use  quite  as  much  or  rub  it  in  as  hard  in  using  it 
the  second  time,  as  the  skin  will  not  yet  be  as  tough  as  before.  I  have 
had  many  highly  complimentary  letters  and  recommendations  for  this 
preparation,  and,  I  regret  to  say,  some  of  a  contrary  nature,  where 
people  had  not  followed  the  plain  directions  as  to  clipping  the  hair ;  had 
applied  too  much,  or  had  used  it  when  the  parts  were  inflamed  to  begin 
with.  In  the  hands  of  men  who  will  use  judgment  and  follow  the 
directions,  it  will  give  first-class  results  and  satisfaction.  It  is  not  de- 
signed for  use  in  cases  of  deep-seated  lameness  or  inflammation,  but 
simply  for  removing  bunches  or  enlargements. 

THE  PULSE. 

It  is  frequently  of  great  importance  to  note  the  pulsations  of  the  heart 
in  treating  disease.  When  at  rest  the  pulse  beats  at  an  average  of 
about  40  per  minute,  but  varies  in  different  horses  from  34  to  42. 
In  colts  and  old  horses  it  runs  much  higher, — sometimes  to  60  and 
over,  —  and  still  the  health  be  good.  It  will  also  be  increased  by  hot 
stables,  excitement,  or  pregnancy.  The  most  convenient  place  to  feel 
the  horse"'s  pulse  is  on  the  underside  of  the  lower  jaw.  Press  the  fingers 
along  the  edge  of  the  jaw,  when  a  cord  or  ridge  will  be  felt.  Press  on 
this  with  the  fingers,  when  you  will  feel  it  throb.  A  very  little  prac- 
tice in  "taking  the  pulse"  will  soon  make  it  plain  to  you,  and  is 
liable  to  be  of  great  service.  Any  great  variation  in  the  pulse  is  a 
sign  of  disease.  If  it  is  rapid  and  hard,  it  indicates  high  fever  and 
inflammation ;  if  weak  and  rapid,  there  is  low  fever  and  general 
weakness,  and  lung  trouble. 


Worcester,  Mass.,  Nov.  23,  1888. 

Dr.  Daniels :  Please  send  one-half  gross  each  of  your  Colic  Cure  and 
Fever  Drops  at  once.  I  have  just  returned  from  vacation,  and  am  fill- 
ing my  barn  with  horses.  I  dare  not  commence  the  season  without 
your  remedies.  T.  S.  Sloan. 

Mr.  Sloan  is  the  largest  horse  dealer,  outside  Boston,  in  New 
England.     Has  sold  upwards  of  25,000  horses  in  the  past  twenty  years. 

Charles  E.  Moulton,  Hack  and  Livery  Stable,  Amesbury,  Mass., 
writes  :  "After  using  your  Hoof  Grower  over  two  years,  I  gladly  recom- 
mend it.  No  one  can  believe  what  it  will  do  until  they  try  it.  It  seems 
to  draw  out  all  soreness  and  tenderness  from  the  feet,  and  make  them 
grow  very  fast.    Have  never  known  it  to  fail  to  do  exactly  as  vou  claim."

LOCAL  AGENTS  WANTED. 

I  want  one  or  more  good  reliable  agents  in  every  town  and  village, 
whose  word  will  be  taken.  I  want  a  "white"  man — -one  in  whom 
people  place  confidence,  who,  when  he  advises  them  to  buy  my  medi- 
cine, and  says  that  he  will  refund  the  purchase  money  if  the  medicine 
is  not  entirely  satisfactory.  Such  are  the  men  I  want  to  represent  my 
medicines.  Although  the  profit  to  the  retailer  is  not  large,  the  sales 
will  soon  be  large,  and  at  the  end  of  the  year  the  deal  will  be  satisfactory. 

Remit  in  any  way  you  prefer.  I  will  send  you  circulars  with  your 
business  card  on,  also  postal  cards  explaining  the  medicines,  ready  to 
mail  to  leading  horsemen,  telling  them  you  have  the  goods  for  sale, 
and  a  fine  line  of  advertising  matter.  I  will  also  put  in  extra  goods  to 
pay  express  charges.  Be  careful  and  send  full  directions  for  shipping, 
and  send  business  card  if  convenient. 


ORDERING  BY  MAIL. 

My  medicines  are  now  sold  at  retail,  at  over  thirty  thousand  places 
in  the  United  States  alone.  Ask  your  druggist  or  medicine  dealer  for 
them.  If  they  do  not  have  them,  and  will  not  get  them  for  you,  send 
your  address,  with  plain  directions  for  shipping,  accompanied  by 
postal  note,  money  order,  registered  letter  or  check,  and  I  will  for- 
ward the  goods  by  first  express,  and  either  pay  the  express  charges 
myself,  or  put  in  extra  medicines  enough  to  more  than  pay  it.  If  you 
are  a  dealer  or  in  a  way  to  sell  the  medicines,  I  will  make  you  a  dis- 
count and  send  you  a  fine  line  of  advertising,  and  allow  you  to  refund 
the  money  to  any  of  your  patrons  who  are  in  any  way  dissatisfied  with 
the  medicines.  As  to  my  responsibility,  I  refer  to  any  bank  or 
business  man  in  Boston,  or  Bradstreet's  Mercantile  Agency. 


Albany,  N.  Y.,  July  8,  1889. 
Dr.  Daniels:  I  had  a  horse  that  had  contracted  feet.  Five  different 
veterinarians  pronounced  him  incurable  and  advised  me  to  kill  him. 
Your  agent  persuaded  me  to  try  your  Hoof  Grower.  I  did  so,  and  in  a 
short  time  put  him  to  work.  His  feet  are  growing  rapidly,  and  he  will 
soon  be  as  sound  as  ever.  One  of  my  friends  had  a  horse  that  had 
distemper  and  left  him  with  a  cough.  After  six  months  he  commenced 
using  your  Fever  Drops  and  Renovator.  The  cough  is  left  him  and  he 
is  all  right.     No  one  can  say  enough  for  your  wonderful  medicines.

BOSTON. 

Boston,  March  lo,  1892. 
To  Horsemen :  We  have  used  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  four 
years,  with  the  most  wonderful  success.  It  has  saved  us  thousands  of 
dollars.  It  is  the  best  stuif  ever  made.  No  medicine  we  have  ever 
used  compares  with  it  in  warding  off  and  curing  coughs,  colds,  and 
distemper.  We  say  this  not  for  Dr.  Daniels'  benefit,  but  in  the  interest 
of  the  thousands  of  shippers  and  horsemen  who  know  us,  who  are 
losing  horses  every  day  that  might  be  saved  by  the  timely  use  of  this 
wonderful  remedy.  Charles  H.  &  Edgar  Snow.

Dr.  Darnels:  We  feel  it  a  duty  that  we  owe  our  friends,  patrons, 
shippers,  and  dealers,  both  east  and  west,  to  advise  them  to  use  your 
Cough,  Cold,  and  Fever  Drops  in  preference  to  any  other  similar 
medicme.  We  have  used  many  remedies,  but  nothing  that  works  as 
well,  and  believe  it  to  be  the  best  on  earth.  Welch  &  Hall.

Philadelphia,  Feb.  26,  1892. 
.   Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels:     Have  used   your  medicines  three  years,  and 
can  cheerfully  say  that  they  are  the  best  we  have  ever  had  in  our  stables. 
We  cannot  afford  to  be  without  them.     We  highly  recommend  them  to 
any  who  choose  to  give  them  a  trial.         Respectfully  yours, 

Scott  Bros.,

From  a  Prince  of  the  Blood 


Cleveland,  Ohio,  Jan.  12,  1892. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels,  55  Portland  Street,  Boston,  Mass. 

Dear  Sir  :  In  reply  to  your  note,  asking  if  I  have  ever  used  your 
remedies,  I  will  say  that  I  keep  them  in  my  stable  as  regularly  as  I  do 
my  hay  and  oats.  I  think  there  are  many  things  patented,  advertised, 
and  sold  to  the  public  as  horse  remedies,  etc.,  that  are  nothing  more 
or  less  than  a  fraud. 

My  veterinary  surgeon  is  a  man  of  education  and  long  practice.  I  do 
not  use  any  medicine  of  any  kind  without  his  advice  ;  he  recommended 
to  me  your  prepared  medicines,  and  I  have  used  them  with  the  best 
results. 

I  very  seldom  lend  my  name  to  a  recommendation  of  any  kind.  Witn 
one  exception  I  have  never  recommended  any  medicines,  or,  in  fact, 
very  few  tools  of  any  description. 

I  am  going  to,  in  this  case,  break  my  rule  and  allow  you  to  use  my 
name,  should  you  see  fit  to  do  so,  not  so  much  for  the  pecuniary  aid  of 
profit  it  may  bring  you,  as  for  the  comfort  and  pleasure  I  think  it  will 
bring  to  God's  noblest  gift  to  man,  a  good  horse.  As  I  make  my  living 
out  of  horses,  I  have  a  double  interest  in  their  welfare,  —  dollars  and 
cents  and  sentiment  besides. 

I  feel  like  thanking  you  for  doing  so  much  for  the  health  and  comfort 
of  an  animal  that  I  think  so  much  of. 

Yours  truly, 

JOHN    SPLAN.
